1. 16. Dynamic Technology-Adjusted Consumption-Based Accounting: National emission responsibilities based on current consumption patterns and production technologies

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Linnéa Kjellberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Emission Responsibilities; Consumption-Based Accounting; Technology-Adjusted Emissions; Intertemporal Capital Dynamics; Input-Output Analysis; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Effective global emission mitigation policies require accurate guidance in terms of a fair and comparable emission accounting framework. This thesis presents an indicator that acknowledges countries’ technological differences as well as intertemporal capital dynamics. READ MORE

3. 17. The Technology-Adjusted Balance of Emissions Embodied in Trade: Assessing Global Carbon Emission Displacement from 1995 to 2009

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Nicolai Baumert; [2017]
   Keywords : Emissions Embodied in Trade; Input-Output Analysis; Emission Displacement; Carbon Leakage; Carbon Footprint; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Increasing global production fragmentation allows for emission displacement, which may counteract advanced nation’s domestic reductions of production-related carbon emissions. Consequently, input-output analysis has become a common tool to measure countries’ carbon footprint and emission trade balances based on national consumption instead of domestically produced CO2 emissions.

4. 18. The challenge of finding correct measurements for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions: A frame-critical analysis of the Kyoto protocol

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; Lunds universitet/Mänskliga rättigheter

   Author : Tobias Persson; [2014]
   Keywords : frame-criticism; framing; production-based; consumption-based; Kyoto protocol; Law and Political Science;

   Abstract : The Kyoto protocol was the first tangible approach to prevent increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In order to attain this objective, the parties of the protocol decided to put restrictions on anthropogenic emissions caused by production in developed countries. READ MORE

5. 19. CO2 Emissions Embodied in International Trade of the UK, 1995-2009: A Multi-Region Input–Output Analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Viktoras Kulionis; [2014]
   Keywords : Embodied Pollution; Multi-region input-output; Carbon leakage; CO2 Emissions; Carbon Footprint; UK; Trade; Social Sciences; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : In a globalized world with increasing international trade, it is highly important to accurately determine environmental impacts resulting from pollution embodied in trade. This study examines carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions embodied in international trade of the United Kingdom from a consumption perspective, rather than the more conventional production side, during the period 1995-2009.

6. 20. Climate and Sufficient Consumption Levels: Policy implicatons of the current knowledge and debate on sustainable consumption levels, sufficiency and degrowth

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

   Author : Emil Levin; [2012]
   Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : A society's greenhouse gas emissions are closely related to its volumes of consumption. Efficiency gains and changes in the consumption mix are important, but will not be enough to reach sustainable levels of consumption-based emission. READ MORE
